Nappies and holiday

How many does your little one go through in a day? I’d take that number times the amount of days you’ll be away. Plus a few extra just in case. For example, if you’re changing 8 times daily x 14 days, that’s 112 diapers. But personally I’d take 120-150 in case of more changes than expected. It’s better to have too many than too little, to avoid having to buy any abroad

How much swimming do you actually think you’ll be doing with them? We took tons to Dubai and ended up using maybe 5? Because it was so warm we ended up only spending a couple hours by the pool and we only went down there for a few days as partner wanted to be out doing other things. As for normal nappies, just guess how much you would usually use in a day and then multiply by 14, then throw in some extras. That’s what I did! Unfortunately had to buy another pack of nappies while out there as we didn’t have enough for the way home, always an option

1 reusable one - I got ours from vinted (splash about) and it's been great (plus doesn't take up space. They leak pee, only hold poop anyways (both disposable and reusable)

I would only bring the minimum. I’ve travelled extensively in Europe and beyond and I mean like villages in Borneo and you can buy everything you need in country, save your suitcase space for other things!

Swimming nappies can be reused if they haven’t pooped just rinse out and let dry. Especially the Huggies ones they are the best so probably take enough for one per day just in case. Normal nappies I would just take enough for a couple of days then buy some when you’re there it’s easier than carrying loads in your case xx

@Lenka I just bought reusable ones (splash about) and was wondering do I need to put the swim nappy (Huggies) before the reusable ones or are they enough? We are going to Canary Islands in 2 weeks and my LG is gonna be 1 yrs old . Thanks

@Nada you don't need to double up as neither of them hold pee, just poop (and if it's watery, it will leak). It's pretty much the same thing - I bought disposable too and didn't use it at all. We changed her into reusable before water time, then back to normal one afterwards, rinsed reusable and left out to dry, ready for next water time. We also went to canaries and used Dino nappies (Dino supermarket own brand) and found them really good, I would recommend them, but not the wipes, they were sticky and terrible

@Lenka thank you so much!!! This is gonna be out first time using the pool . she already swam in the sea 😂 but she was 4 months so she was without a nappy as the beach is pretty small in front of my house in my home country I’ll check Dino nappies too!

@Nada just so you’re aware a lot of swimming pools (in the UK anyway) say a disposable nappy PLUS a swimming costume on top, not just your happy nappy. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable putting my girl in just a happy nappy, and she doesn’t really have any blowouts anymore as she’s 1. I have previously used the splash about swim suits with a disposable nappy and to be honest even so I know they’re tight on the legs and probably would hold a poo in, I still wouldn’t feel comfortable not using a disposable swim nappy too

We took 2 packs.of swim nappies and 3 packs.of small nappies for 1 week holiday. We didn't use them all but would rather have too many than not enough. We just left what we didn't use

@Georgina thank you for that, I’ll have both for our trip

Where are you going? You can buy them pretty much everywhere! You can also reuse them if there’s no poo. Rinse them out and dry then in the sun.
